Underway at the historic Annandale Golf Club (opened in 1906!) Great start with @LaBarGolf & @GHmgmtgroup & talented shapers in Mark, @BenMalach and Matt. Full scope of renovation plus select restorative work from William P. Bell’s re-design of the mid 1920’s. Away we go!

Fun working on this one. This green is flatter than it appears. I remember battling to get this green to sheet more than .5 in some spots.
Green contours on 12 @poppyridgegc were designed to match the folds in the fields beyond. @BenMalach @theturfyoda @ncga1901

“We have these open prairies. We’ve got the hardwood forests and the wetland areas. When you think of those landscapes, to me, that’s a postcard of southern Minnesota.” - @jayblasi Wish you were here - #burloaksgolfclub Minnetrista, MN #burloaksredesign #golfcourse #golf

Jay flipped this hole. What was once a bland and forgettable hole. Now is a fun rambling par 5 up the hill. I apologize in advance for people still stinging from the wonderfully quirky par 3 3rd

Fun to bring this one to life with Jay
Before and After @poppyridgegc Walk has been reduced by roughly 2000 yds and 400' of elevation change. Wider fairways w/ less overall turf. Half the SF of sand but more strategic. Options around greens. ROUTING MATTERS!!

The new year will bring dozens of new (and newly renovated) golf courses. Here are nine that we’ve resolved to play.

Golf courses offer many environmental benefits. Unfortunately, that reality doesn’t always match how courses get portrayed. In this article, we go through some key environmental benefits of golf courses and the science behind them 👇

Here's Dr. MacKenzie's plan for an 18 hole "Approach & Putt" Par 3 Course at Augusta National @TheMasters @fried_egg_golf @garrett_TFE @AndyTFE #themasters
Alister MacKenzie drew up plans for an 18 hole par-3 course with nine double greens at Augusta National. It was never built. On tomorrow’s podcast, Josh Pettit, founder of the Alister MacKenzie Institute, joins to detail the history of the golf architecture at Augusta National.
